This spicy high-protein breakfast is the best way to start your day
The whole thing takes the same amount of time as brewing and drinking a cup of coffee.
If you’re on Instagram, you’ve probably seen the top-down shot of slow-cooked eggs bubbling in a deep-red sea.
Shakshuka, on Instagram at least, is the “like”-amassing equivalent of a naked yoga post. And, just like naked yoga, this version of Eggs in Purgatory is slightly dangerous.
Also the fate of this version, Eggs in Hades, is far more certain. Spicy sausage and crushed red pepper flakes ignite an inferno of heat that makes this pan-based dish a powerhouse wake-you-up breakfast.

Plus, you don’t even have to be that awake to make it. All you have to do is sizzle some vegetables in a skillet, brown some sausage, dump in a jar of pre-made tomato sauce, and then crack in a few eggs. Then you wait a beat. You could also heat up some pita for dunking, if you want.
The whole thing takes about 20 minutes to come together, which is about how much time it also takes to brew and drink a cup of black coffee. It’s efficient. It’s delicious. And it’s also a great way to test how ironclad your stomach is.
What You’ll Need:
- 1 tsp canola oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 medium onion, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 lb spicy chicken sausage, casings removed
- 1 (24 oz) jar tomato sauce
- 4 eggs
- Crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
- 2 Tbsp chopped basil
- 2 whole wheat pocket pitas, cut in half, warmed, for serving
